Abstract

Coauthor and acknowledgment data were captured for 1384 research articles published between 1980 and June, 2023 that focused on tardigrades. Articles indexed in Web of Science or an archives of tardigrade literature were downloaded and thoroughly examined for personal acknowledgment data. Annual publication counts and coauthor maps for four successive time periods (1980–1999, 2000–2008, 2009–2017, 2018-June 2023) showed growth in the literature and increased research activity (more researchers, more complex networks, more international collaboration), beginning in 2000. A two-level Personal Acknowledgments Classification (PAC), was used to code types of acknowledgments. The majority of articles focused on field studies and/or descriptions of new species of tardigrades. This was reflected in rankings of acknowledgment categories and additions to the PAC. Ranked lists of frequently-thanked acknowledgees (all tardigrade researchers) were produced for each period. Acknowledgment profiles of four frequently-thanked researchers identified three different roles that researchers might play in tardigrade studies—”informal academic editorial consultant,” “taxonomic gatekeeper,” and “all-rounder.” Acknowledgments honoring people by naming a new species after them were only found in the species description, not in the formal acknowledgment section.

动物门一级的合作:水熊(动物门)世界中的共同著作和鸣谢模式
我们收集了 1980 年至 2023 年 6 月间发表的 1384 篇有关沙蜥的研究文章的共同作者和致谢数据。我们下载了在 Web of Science 或沙蜥文献档案中索引的文章,并对个人致谢数据进行了全面检查。从 2000 年开始,连续四个时间段(1980-1999 年、2000-2008 年、2009-2017 年、2018 年至 2023 年 6 月)的年度发表论文数量和合著者分布图显示了文献的增长和研究活动的增加(更多的研究人员、更复杂的网络、更多的国际合作)。在对致谢类型进行编码时,采用了两级个人致谢分类法(PAC)。大多数文章都集中于实地研究和/或对新种沙蜥的描述。这反映在致谢类别的排名和 PAC 的添加上。每个时期都会产生一份经常被致谢者(所有沙蜥研究人员)的排名表。四位经常致谢的研究人员的致谢简介确定了研究人员在游仆虫研究中可能扮演的三种不同角色--"非正式学术编辑顾问"、"分类学把关人 "和 "全能选手"。通过以其名字命名新物种的致谢只出现在物种描述中,而不是正式致谢部分。

期刊介绍: Scientometrics aims at publishing original studies, short communications, preliminary reports, review papers, letters to the editor and book reviews on scientometrics. The topics covered are results of research concerned with the quantitative features and characteristics of science. Emphasis is placed on investigations in which the development and mechanism of science are studied by means of (statistical) mathematical methods. The Journal also provides the reader with important up-to-date information about international meetings and events in scientometrics and related fields. Appropriate bibliographic compilations are published as a separate section. Due to its fully interdisciplinary character, Scientometrics is indispensable to research workers and research administrators throughout the world. It provides valuable assistance to librarians and documentalists in central scientific agencies, ministries, research institutes and laboratories. Scientometrics includes the Journal of Research Communication Studies. Consequently its aims and scope cover that of the latter, namely, to bring the results of research investigations together in one place, in such a form that they will be of use not only to the investigators themselves but also to the entrepreneurs and research workers who form the object of these studies.
